Vadodara, Gujarat’s third largest city, is considered the state’s “cultural capital”. The city is situated on the Vishwamitri River and is the administrative headquarters of Vadodara District. Vadodara features a blend of numerous eras and its reputation as the “cultural capital” dates largely from the late 19th century, when it was the capital of the pricely state of Baroda. Pavagadh Hill, graced with a combination of Hindu and Jain shrines, towers over Champaner, the 15th century pre-Mughal Islamic fort. Together they represent the diversity of religious influences that have pervaded Gujarat. Vadodara offers a variety of attractions such Sayaji Baug, Vadhvana Wetland and Eco-Camp Site, Tribal Museum, Dhaboi, Kadia Dungar Caves, Vadodara Museum and more.
